The zoya factor

Set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition of India, The Zoya Factor is a romantic comedy about Zoya Singh Solanki, an advertising executive who discovers she is a lucky charm for the Indian cricket team.

When the team's captain, Nikhil Khoda, realizes that Zoya's presence on the field brings good fortune, he insists she join them for the 1983 World Cup. As Zoya navigates the pressures of the tournament and her growing feelings for Nikhil, the novel blends humor, romance, and a poignant historical thread about the division of India and Pakistan.

Anuja Chauhan's debut novel is a witty, fast-paced story of love, luck, and the enduring bond between a team and its mascot.
